This one you might remember from Saving Private Ryan

This one aint German, but its still pretty damn awesome.

I have more with Germans, but they are scattered everywhere on my harddrive.  Ill post them when I find them though.

Ok thanks…

i want something with germans marching under the French “arch of triumph” in Paris.
That would be awesome!

Ill actually have to make that one.  My friend has “The Century of Warfare” on dvd, so im sure theres a clip of that in there.  Do you want me to loop it so it seems like an endless line of Germans marching under it?  Itll look pretty cool.  :-P

Back on topic here folks…

lol are you directing conversation away from french bashing?

outrageous :P

Coming back into the game recently after a long hiatus…

Grew up with Classic and still enjoy it (my brothers and I play an online, PBEmail version) but want to see what the Revised board, and “new” destroyer/artillery units, can do.

Obtained a few miniatures also,but not really impressed.

I usually play all A&A’s, but recently I have been playtesting my own variants.

I have created one that I feel is very good, the board is a simple marker drawing.

Does anyone have any good ideas for turning is into real board like that of A&A quality.

Whoever created this thread needs to add the Battle of the Bulge option…

All hail the Site Owner!

:-D

I don’t think the miniatures will last very long. I can’t find them in any store in my area. I talked to one store owner who had them and he said they were not selling at all so he got rid of them.

A small but loyal following… like most of the Axis and Allies products :-)

My local shop couldn’t keep the first three sets of minis in stock. So he ups the order of D-day and they are still on the shelf. But that is just here. I’ve found that minis is simultaneously too big and too small at the same time. On the other hand I am very happy with Battle of the Bulge. So far I’m finding it is a nice spot between D-Day and Revised. I hope they make a few more games with the combat system and the supply rules.

Don;t Worry… I would imagine that one of these days Revised Revised will be out, and it will have logistics and supply aspects, hard fortifications, more realistic movement over terrain, more units (mechanized infantry, more specialized AF, etc.) and it will play havoc with us “old school” gamers.

I don’t think the game can get too much more detailed. We are finding that BOTB comes in under 4 hours. If you had to deal with supplies over very large theatres as well as reinofrcements, combats and just moving pieces around I don’t think you could get a game in in a whole weekend.

Although today’s BOTB game is the first one to go past turn 5 it came in under 4 hours. Had I not had perfect dice on one roll near the end coupled with a big donut for the Allied air force I would not have won.

DJensen-
I live in the tristate area and if I am having a hard time getting the miniatures, I have to think the rest of the country is as well. You can go on ebay and get them, and on there they are selling at a fraction of the orginal price. The conclusion is that this game has no shelf appeal and a very small market. There are already players that are putting their units up for sale. (I believe Agentorange is one of them). Unfortunately the game itself is a bit clumsy (although I like the units), the flow of the game just doesn’t seem right. However I have only played a few games (after a rather large investment) so I will wait until I pass final judgement. That being said I am not optimistic.
